The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 755

Rufus' POV:

Sylvia's tears slid down her cheeks as she looked at me. Her beautiful face glowed under the lights while she stretched out her hand and softly called out my name.

Just when I was about to put the ring on her finger, she suddenly fell to the ground.

I instantly panicked and went over to help her.

"Where is the doctor?! Call the doctor right now!" I roared in a fit of panic.

However, we didn't expect that such a thing would happen. I was planning for a happy proposal, so we didn't specifically arrange for a doctor to be present.

The scene was chaotic. Everyone was panicking, and they didn't know what else to do.

"I called the doctor!" my mother anxiously exclaimed as she kept pacing around.

When I shifted my gaze to Sylvia's face, I couldn't help but notice that she was sickly pale. Her beautiful face didn't look as vibrant as before, and that made me even more anxious.

I couldn't wait any longer, so I held her up and ran outside.

"I'm taking her to the hospital!" I shouted.

Hearing this, my father immediately told the crowd of people to disperse and arranged a car to take us to the hospital.

The waiting process was tormenting as I silently sat at the door of the emergency room. I couldn't remember how many times Sylvia had been here.

My heart ached so much that I almost felt like I was suffocating as countless possibilities ran through my mind.

Ever since Sylvia got pregnant, I had been carefully protecting her from any dangers that may come her way. I never expected that something like this would still happen to her.

I shouldn't have let her out of the palace alone today. I should've paid more attention to her and our baby since I knew she wasn't in a good condition.

I tried to reason with my mother, but she just wouldn't listen. I didn't bother saying anything more, because my mind was in shambles, thinking that Sylvia's life might be in danger.

My mother held my shoulders and glared at me. "The baby is big enough now. Don't be so heartless, Rufus! You just have to believe in the doctor. Both Sylvia and the baby will be safe and sound."

At that point, I knew my mother was saying this to calm herself down and also convince me to keep the baby despite the circumstances.

I didn't say anything, but I had already made up my mind. If the baby truly was endangering Sylvia's life, I didn't want to keep it—even if it meant I couldn't have another baby with her anymore.

Sylvia had been a priority for me and always would be. I didn't want to lose her just like that.

In the end, my mother failed to persuade me. She got so mad that she punched my shoulder hard in frustration.

I didn't say a word and simply let her vent her anger out on me.

My father, on the other hand, was silent. He simply sighed as he looked at the wall, attempting to avoid eye contact.
